Margaret, Duchess of Douglas, was daughter of James Douglas of Mains (12th) and obtained her title by marriage to Archibald Douglas, 1st Duke of Douglas (part of the Red Douglas family, and a distant relation). Margaret and Archibald married late in life, did not have children, and the title of Duke of Douglas became extinct on Archibald's death. The estates of Douglas became the subject of a legal battle (known as the Douglas Cause) between Archibald Steuart (the Duke of Douglas' nephew) and the Duke of Hamilton, who inherited the remaining titles of Douglas. Margaret supported Archibald, who was granted the estates after appeal to the House of Lords. In her will, she left money to purchase lands to be called Douglas-Support.
Margaret married Archibald (1st Duke of Douglas) Douglas on 1 Mar 1758. Archibald (son of James (2nd Marquess of Douglas) Douglas and Mary Kerr) was born in 1694; died on 21 Jul 1761. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
